Fairy Tale 14th Century Castle in Umbria, Italy
"Medieval magic abounds! Here, your Italian vacations morph into a living legend." - Reviewed by Deborah
Get ready to be inspired! This 14th-century sanctuary offers a unique fairy tale experience. Rich in history and flanked by breathtaking rolling hills, prepare yourself for an historic stay and an excellent location to explore Italian art, nature, and culture at its finest in Umbria.
From the traditional fortress walls to the well-tended lawn, to the impressive watchtower, your Italian getaway snaps will have your friends gushing. Play Rapunzel from the watchtower, which overlooks the valley and offers electrifying views; meanwhile, take in some fresh air from the roof terrace.
Coming back down to earth, you can exercise or unwind in the private pool, or simply take in the sunshine on the comfy loungers. Every day, you can enjoy mealtimes in a different spot and even book the in-villa chef to prepare all your meals for you (€).
Without a doubt, this is a unique venue for special occasions, events, weddings or executive team building gatherings. For those planning a destination wedding, the consecrated chapel with its vaulted ceilings, ancient crucifix, and traditional pews will help create a magical setting for your vows. Meanwhile, a large outdoor area is perfect for socializing, cocktail events and reception parties.
